Uncovering The Boss

CHAPTER 7: EXOTIC KISS

"So, boss, I assume that you received my invitation?"

Annabella was wearing a robe while she sat seductively on the bed with black and white sheets. Her hair was swept to the side, and I assume she was wearing little to nothing under her robe.

"It was an alluring invitation, Bella, and you know I couldn't resist a beauty such as yourself. Rejecting that kind of offer is not something a good boss does, you know."

"Italian men have always been one of the best when it comes to playing with words of seduction. I bet any woman would throw themselves at you, Michael, given the chance."

She stood and walked towards me slowly without breaking our eye contact. She began opening the button of my coat, and she threw the material to the nearby sofa on the left corner of the room.

"Well, I'm a good catcher, especially if the woman is as amazingly exotic as you. I assume you would show those amazing skills that you have in store for me."

I held both her hands when she attempted to open the buttons of my pants. She looked at my hands that were holding hers, and I saw a teasing smile across her lips.

"Why, of course, boss. I wouldn't want to disappoint you and waste your time coming here. Sit down and relax on the bed while I begin my performance."

I went straight to the bed, and Bella began to slowly open her robe. She wore the same two piece swimsuit that she wore in the photo, only this one was better since I'm looking at it in person.

"Why don't we put on some music while I dance for you, boss. I feel like you're someone who wants to see me perform properly."

She turned on the music using a remote, and I just looked at her with a small smile on my face. She began to move, and each sway of her hips made me excited.

I knew that I should be worrying about the business, but a little playdate with her wouldn't do me any harm. Bella began to dance closer to me, and she allowed me to do as I pleased.

"Hmm, you're good with your hands, boss. It looks like you're not just great at being the king of the mafia in Italy."

"Well, I'm the boss, which means I have to be good at everything I put my mind to. That includes pleasuring the exotic beauty that I have in front of me now, Bella."

Bella kissed me on the lips for a few more seconds while I continued my ministrations. After that, she suddenly walked backwards and away from me to get the bottle of wine near the counter. She handed me one glass of wine, but instead of drinking it, I stood up and decided to put it back on the counter, and kiss her instead.

"You taste better when you have wine on your lips, Bella."

I felt her relax and allowed me to bring her closer to the edge of the bed. We fell, but she pushed me so that she was now straddling me as we continued making out.

Our hands roamed each other's bodies, and I felt her take off my clothes which left me topless. However, before she could touch my pants, she suddenly stopped, and traced the crescent moon tattoo that I had on my right chest.

"This is a beautiful tattoo, boss, but I was expecting you to have a huge one like angel wings or something. I didn't expect you to have a tattoo of a crescent moon and nothing else."

I allowed her to trace the tattoo with her fingers and savor the feeling of it against my skin. I saw her waiting for my response to her comment, but i stead of giving one, I tore off her remaining clothes.

The sound of fabric ripping was enough to make her gasp with surprise. I flipped her, and now I was on top of her.

"That subject is none of your business, mi Bella.  All you need to do now is forget about the tattoo, and focus on the rest of my body."

I bit her neck, and I felt her shudder under me. Her hands started to roam my exposed chest, and just when her hands reached the buttons of my pants, I felt something painful begin to crawl from my throat.

I gasped and touched my throat while trying my best to stand up. My eyes were getting blurry, and I saw the surprised look on Bella's face turn into a menacing smirk.

"Well this is a bit disappointing, boss. I was hoping that we could get at least a few rounds behind us before the poison took effect. I was actually enjoying the way you were touching me, but I guess you're not as invincible as you pretend to be."

I backed up against the wall to get support and prevent myself from falling on my knees in front of the woman. I looked at Bella and saw her walk towards the drawer on the left side of the bed, and took out a pill that looked like anti-pregnancy pills.

She then proceeded to pick up her robe, and hide her nakedness from me. I felt rage flare up inside me as I continued to level my breathing and avoid touching my neck 

"I was hoping that you would at least give me a bit of a challenge today, but this assignment is truly disappointing, Mr. De Angelo. However, the new clothes and jewelry along with the p*****t I got was more than enough to pay me. Though, I was hoping to have a taste of the famous Godfather of the De Angelo Family."

Annabella suddenly fell face first on the floor as Stephanie stood behind her with a gun in her hand. Steph pointed her gun on Annabella's head as the lady on the floor began to groan and tremble in pain.

"You can try and taste the De Angelo Family's Godfather, but you have to go through our entire army to get to him. The family doesn't just give out free tastes, you know, unless you want to taste a bullet or a grenade, then I would be happy to oblige."

Stephanie threw a bottle to me, and I drank it quickly. Instantly, the swelling and pain that I felt in my throat was gone, and I could breathe again. I stood up and gave her a nod of thanks as I saw Annabella begin to sit up and recover from the pain. I guess Stephanie went easy on her since she only hit Annabella's head with the back of the gun and didn't put a bullet in it.

"You're getting soft these days, Steph. I would have thought that you would instantly put a bullet to her head for attempting to poison your boss."

"I would have done it, but I knew you still had a score to settle with this woman, so this is an early gift from me to you. Plus, this woman made Bruno and his men furious, so I made a promise to deliver this dog to them when we're done."

"Bruno? So I was right that this was the woman who was with those men who attempted to shoot me?"

"Excuse me lovebirds, but I would appreciate it if you didn't ignore me!"

"Oh shut up and stop interrupting, dog!"

Stephanie shot Annabella with a tranquilizer using the other gun she had on her side, and the woman fell face first on the floor. It was a good thing the floor was covered with a tug, or else her pretty face would have been damaged.

"I take back what I said about you being soft, Steph. I guess your temper will always be worse than mine when it comes to whores."

The door burst open, and three other women went inside with two men who were all Stephanie's top assassin's. The De Angelo family and the Dela Mayor family always made sure that our people were the best of the best, and Stephanie and I were, and still are, the best.

"It's a good thing the plan worked, and you got the right antidote to that poison that she gave me. Good thing this woman failed to give me a goodbye kiss back at the restaurant."

Flashback three hours ago…

"Boss, your hunch was right. That witch, Annabella, had poison on her lips. The team were able to find traces of the poison she used on the glass at the restaurant. It was a good thing that you made her drink after she came back from the comfort room. That was probably the time she applied some on her lips."

"That's good to hear, Bruno. Tell your Capo Dela Mayor about this, and tell her to meet me at my office here at the center of the city."

I said my goodbye to Bruno, and a few minutes later, Stephanie went inside of my office. I told her about Annabella's plan to meet with me, and we made a quick strategy as to how we would be able to catch the w***e that wanted to kill me.

Stephanie provided me with a small gadget that I kept in my pant's pocket. This small gadget would allow me to give her a signal when the poison would take effect. I could press the button, and she would instantly burst inside the room that I was in, since the hotel was also under our control.

Present time…

"Well, Steph, I expect that you would take care of all of this. I'm going back to the bar and get rid of all the extra excitement that I have."

I stood up and turned my back on Stephanie and her subordinates, and I heard them leave instantly. I took my clothes and fixed myself before heading straight to the bar with the new set of bodyguards that Bruno and Stephanie have gathered for me.

My phone lit up, and I read the message that Alex sent me. A big smile was on my face as I read the report that he gave about the Asian investors.

Alex reported in his email that the other investors for the company's expansion in Asia agreed to have a meeting. Furthermore, there are five more interested investors that agreed to join the meeting that we were planning on having.

Alex made sure he expressed his shock as to the news, but I was sure that the new investors were referred by my friend Mr. Kyosei-gumi V. He was the boss of one of the largest Japanese mafia families in Japan. We became friends when I killed his second in command during a combat while I was still an assassin for the Dela Mayor family. Instead of killing me or waging war against the Dela Mayor, I received his respect for fighting fairly, and exposing his second in command's treachery.

Everything was falling into place, and I was sure that the moment the ball would begin, I would get the most powerful allies in the mafia world.

I closed my eyes and pictured my brother once again. Suddenly, the hairs on my body stood up as I remembered another tattoo on my brother's body.

The tattoo was a tattoo of dragon wings with a diamond on the middle of the wings on his lower back. The tattoo had three Italian words located at the bottom of the tattoo. DRAGO. ANGELO. LUPO.

I suddenly felt cold as I remembered the word: LUPA that was tattooed on the back of Annabella's neck. It probably was a coincidence, but I had a feeling Annabella wasn't just a mere assassin that my enemy hired.
